Hackage Build Status

reanimate

Reanimate is a reactive framework for creating non-interactive animations from SVG images. This package consists of a set of combinators, a renderer (using ffmpeg), and a web-based previewer. Inline latex code is supported when 'latex' and 'dvisvgm' are installed.

Nothing about the API is stable at this point.

Getting started

Reanimate ships with a web-based viewer and automatic code reloading. To get a small demo up and running, clone the repository, run one of the examples (this will install the library), and wait for a browser window to open:

$ git clone https://github.com/Lemmih/reanimate.git
$ cd reanimate/examples/
$ ./latex_color.hs

This should render the latex_color example in a new browser window. If you then change the animation source code, the browser window will automatically reload and show the updated animation.

TODO

  • website for live coding
  • bounding boxes
  • Use svg-tree instead of lucid-svg
  • crossplatform file watching
  • Improve bounding box approximations
  • Select desired FPS in web previewer
  • Download rendered animations in web previewer
  • alignment and positioning combinators
  • Driver:
  • Command line options for rendering videos.
  • Flags for selecting fps in web viewer

Examples

The example gifs are displayed at 25 fps. The source code for many of these examples are available on the live coding playground.
